Just forced myself to re-watch the goals.

Apart from the first and possibly the last, there was nothing Nyland could have done.

Probably opens the door for Reina to start next week though.

Experienced keepers like Heaton and (hopefully) Reina are about more than saves, the they control their areas and by extension the defensive line, and furthermore the shape of the whole team if they're really good. Nyland made some very good saves, which is great, but I didn't see any of that kind of leadership.

I think that's exactly why he's here and why Nyland can take a back seat.

Nyland has improved significantly but he’s still young and learning his trade...hopefully Reina will provide some much needed leadership and organisation at the back, and command his area like a boss spreading much needed confidence throughout the team.

Three at the back may now mean goalkeepers.

If we can get a striker of equivalent quality on a similar deal we'll have done well. Good signing.

Hopefully his experience will lift the rest of the team & squad, and give some positiveness back to them.
Oh and maybe not start with Drinkwater again... just yet

I really rated Reina when he was at Liverpool, though in his last season he certainly showed signs of decline. Obviously did well at Napoli but 5 appearances in last 18 months suggests a match fit keeper he certainly isn't. It's a huge ask to throw him straight into a team fighting relegation conceding more shots on goal, Norwich aside, than anyone else in the division. In summary, I don't see this being a successful signing.
